DiGiCo SD10 has Maxi Appeal

DiGiCo’s SD10 has just made its first venture into Brazil, with one being purchased by events company Maxi Audio Luz Imagen, based in Sao Paulo. Used on a variety of events, the company is very happy with its purchase.

Maxi Audio technical manager Sandro Monteiro had been impressed by the DiGiCo consoles on show at InfoComm 2009 and, with sound engineers at Brazilian events asking for DiGiCo consoles, he began to investigate what would be the best option for the company.

“As a sound rental company, we need to offer the best products to our clients,” he says. “The DiGiCo SD10 has fantastic sound which has the same ‘colour’ as that of an analogue console. The digital processing has great clarity, the preamplifiers are high quality, the workflow is straightforward and the MADI system is really useful. On top of all that, the console has a great price!”

Training on the SD10 was provided by Renato Carneiro, an associate of Antonio Lorenzetti DiGiCo’s representative in Brazil.

“Renato was a great choice for the training,” Sandro continues. “He made learning the desk very straightforward. I have known Antonio for several years and he has always made things very easy. With DiGiCo he is exactly the same - the support is excellent.”

With the SD10 in the company’s inventory, Sandro is hoping that it will help to increase the number of events that Maxi Audio is asked to support.

Maxi Audio owner José Augusto Martins concludes, “We have had a lot of positive feedback from clients and sound engineers. I think we will be adding SD7 and SD9 consoles to our inventory sooner than we imagined.”
